Wills in Coggeshall and throughout the rest of the UK need to account for the fact that A UK company (SAGA) focused on fulfilling the needs of people over the age of 50 conducted a survey recently which found approximately 40% of all adults living in the British Isles now have a Will.
However, this statistic is not as positive as it may appear on the face of it. This is because around 25% of this figure have elected to write their own Wills without any professional help leading to a high potential risk of a potential probate dispute due to their preconceived ideas about the costs and the legal system involved along with making the whole process quicker and avoiding having to share such personal information with a stranger, irrespective of their professionalism and assurances of confidentiality. Nevertheless, whilst the risks linked with writing your own Wills in Coggeshall in Essex without any legal supervision is dependent upon the particular facts and circumstances involved in a given case, one in fourteen respondents to SAGA’s survey encountered a problem during probate themselves or knew of someone who had when they had drafted their own Will.
The complexities and legal knowledge involved with writing a valid Will is all too easily and often misunderstood so that writing your own wills in Coggeshall and other similar places throughout the UK is a bad things. For example, if the wording used is not sufficiently specific then it could be questioned by family members leading to costly disputes on both a monetary and emotional basis. In addition, it is not always considered to be a good idea to refer to specific sums of money that should be left to particular individuals in view of the fact that the value of a person’s estate could change over time somewhere like Coggeshall. Moreover, people all too often draft one will and then fail to regularly update it so as to then reflect changes in their family or financial circumstances with the passing of time. Furthermore, a lack of legal knowledge could mean that a Will is signed and witnessed incorrectly so as to render it invalid leading to the probate office in a place like Coggeshall having to apply the rules of intestacy and distribute your estate in keeping with the remit of English law.
With this in mind, it is clearly imperative to seek legal advice from an experienced Will writing service provider rather than write your own wills in Coggeshall and other places throughout Essex to ensure that your Wills fulfill your specific needs and then to take responsibility for ensuring that it is regularly updated whenever any significant family or financial changes arise.
